    Principality - Just had an issue 34 regular saver mature today. Yes the rush of maturing 6 month and regular savers was exciting. Now feeling a bit deflated as I've got nothing maturing now until the end of July and I  already have the funds together to feed the July 1st regular savers so nothing to ponder over for almost six weeks ... 

    In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts regarding the Bank of England meeting this week - is the rate staying put - are they waiting for the next one in September for the next drop?
    MY Halifax and Lloyds savers I only renewed a month ago anticipating a drop which didnt happen ...

    Lucky you - I've got nothing maturing until September! Then 4 maturing within 2 months. So unless a great new regular saver is released any time soon, I've got a bit of an empty spell with nothing to do except top up my existing accounts from my flexible ISA.

    Maybe I should find something more exciting to do with my life!

    I have read that the rate is expected to remain unchanged on Thursday but with 2 drops still expected by the end of the year.

    Zopa

    How can you fund the Regular Saver please?
    I've found the internal transfer from Zopa CA way, but despite having both a smart saver and regular saver I can only seem to see one set of savings account transfer details.
    Thanks!
    You can use their Open Banking payment system to pull the money in, but be aware a small number of people have reported missed payments (all of mine have worked ok).
